Screw You Saul "Slash" Hudson!!!

Slash commented in the L.A. Times over Antiquiet.com blogger Kevin Cogill. AKA Skwerl, being arrested for leaking unreleased Guns ‘N Roses Chinese Democracy songs on the internet.
“I hope he rots in jail,” Slash told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s going to affect the sales of the record, and it’s not fair. The Internet is what it is, and you have to deal with it accordingly, but I think if someone goes and steals something, it’s theft.”
To this I say: F*ck you, Saul. Surely you have done worse and got away with it. You know what’s going to effect record sales? The fact that this has been sitting on the shelf for 13 years. Trust me, even though a few songs leaked on the Internet, Chinese Democracy will probably sell well over 100,000 copies in it’s first week just because of all the hype. You holier than thou douche bag! You’ve probably screwed under-age girls, done more drugs than most addicts, even admitted to dealing drugs yourself, asshole! Have you ever served time or have been fined for any of that? By the way…The Snake Pit sucked!”
This is the first time I have ever felt any hatred towards Slash. I mean really, worse things are happening in the world and you’re worried about Axl Rose losing record sales from an album that probably sucks, but will sell anyway. At least G ‘n R are more worried about finding the source.
Perhaps he can go over to Lars’ place and they can cry in their piles of money.
I honestly don;t know how he would be making any money off of this unless he still owns a little bit of the rights to the G N R name…other than that, I don’t think he’s making any money off of it so Why would he care.
Because he wouldn’t want the same to happen to him. He’s showing respect for a former bandmate and acknowledging an injustice. A crime is a crime regardless of worse crimes being committed elsewhere. Musician get screwed 10 ways to Sunday and what’s wrong is wrong.
